In 1823 Lissett, with a population of 95, was in the parish of Beeford, and the Wapentake and Liberty of Holderness. A chapel of ease existed in the village.[2] Lissett was formerly a township and chapelry in the parish of Beeford,[3] from 1866 Lissett was a civil parish in its own right, on 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Ulrome.[4]
In 1942 an RAF station, RAF Lissett, was built there. Its main role was to serve as a bomber airfield for the Halifax Bomber 158 Squadron. It had a short life - the final mission left the airbase on 25 April 1945. The airfield is now part of a small industrial estate in the village.

The village church, St James, is a Grade II listed building and houses the oldest dated bell in England, dated 1254.[7] Perhaps of 14th-century origin, it was rebuilt by Hugh Roumieu Gough in 1876. Remaining from the previous church are fragments of a Norman capital in the east wall. The east stained glass window is by Charles Eamer Kempe, with Morris-style diamond-shaped flower details and lettering.[8]
